Color Throwdown #100

Hello everyone, and welcome (finally!) to Color Throwdown #100!!! The team has been so excited for this day to arrive, and we hope you're excited, too! Let the fun begin! The colors today were actually chosen by team member Kristin Bueter. However, you've probably noticed that Kristin has been MIA for about a month now... she's currently away from home on a work-related assignment. So having her choose the colors today was our way of including her in the challenge. You'll also notice one of our long lost members playing along today, too...Kisa Peters! Kisa graciously supplies us with the beautiful blog banners each week and the color swatches, but for today we convinced her to stamp something and play along, too! You'll also see our new Guest Designer for July, Makiko Jones. Maki's designs just make us ooh! and aah! everytime she plays along so she was a natural choice for our next Guestie! And finally, we're thrilled to have eleven other former Guesties joining us today for the celebration! These are some of the nicest, most fabulous stampers and we're just thrilled that they all said yes to joining us today for this special celebration! (Who wouldn't, anyway?) ;)

There are some rules we need everyone to be aware of today. In order to be eligible to win any of the fabulous prizes, you must ...

1. Submit a newly-created, paper-crafted creation... a card, scrapbook page, 3-D item, anything as long as it falls under the category of paper crafts and follows the specified colors. (And please, no "rainbows"... your creation must consist primarily of the specified colors.) As always, you do not have to use these exact colors... just whatever you have that is most-similar.

2. Upload your creation to your blog or other online gallery, then leave a direct link to your creation using the Inklinz widget below. A direct link means it will take us directly to your creation... not to your whole gallery, or to your blog, please. Any links that don't follow this rule will be deleted. (You may resubmit if you discover that your link was deleted for not complying.) You have until 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on Monday, July 12 to submit your entry.

3. Start commenting! Winners will be chosen by random number from all the comments left on the designers blogs listed below. So the more blogs you comment on, the better your chances are at winning, but please only one comment per person per blog. The designers blogs where you will find prizes are....

In an effort to save space, please refer to our post from Monday, July 5th for the complete list of companies, prizes and where they are located! There is almost $1700 worth of prizes up for grabs, to be sure to check out the official list! We also refer you to that post for some FAQ's!

So there you have it... COLOR THROWDOWN #100! We're so anxious to get this show on the road and hope you have fun and enjoy the chance to win some fabulous prizes and get creative with these colors! Now go..... get busy! Happy stamping!

Happy 100! I love this blog and try to play along as much as possible. I had to take a little break but I am back and what a challenge to come back to! Awesome prizes. I just have a quick question. Is it only one entry per person or can you submit more than one project for this challenge?Thanks!

What a fun celebration! Congratulations to the team on your 100th challenge! Thanks for all your efforts to bring us these great challenges and thanks also for all the inpiration! Your cards for this celebration were truly exceptional!

Love the inspiration and all of the cards shared already! This is the BIG one I guess--congrats! I posted my link, but here it is if the link breaks! http://kmassman-scrapbooks-cards.blogspot.com/2010/07/love-bug.html

Congratulations to one of my favorite places! I can't wait to go home and stamp tonight. All of the creations today were so delightful. Thank you for all you do...looking forward to many more challenges. :-)

Congratulations on the 100th challenge ~ WOW!Thanks for all of the inspiration you have provided and this celebration is 100% wonderful! What fun it was to view all of the wonderful cards that the team members created and inspired us with. Thanks for the many chances to win a wonderful prize!

I've just discovered your fabulous blog and am now a follower - AND a fan. This event introduced me to some fabulous new papercraft vendors AND some really talented ladies and blogs - it's been so much fun. Thanks to everyone who participated and a HUGE thank you to all those vendors who have donated some OVER THE TOP prizes for this event. WOWZA! Keeping my fingers crossed that the planets align and I'm lucky enough to grab a brass ring prize! Again, THANKS so much!

Thanks for a beautiful and inspiring color combo! Definitely worthy of your big milestone celebration... Congrats! By the way, in the post above you make reference to the list of prizes in Monday's post--the link says July 7 rather than 5! No biggy, but it threw me for a second!!!

Hi, I need some help. I posted a card #122 with the correct link to my card in the SCS gallery. The image appearing on your blog isn't correct - it shows the SCS logo, but when I click on it, my card shows up correctly. Not sure why it's showing SCS instead of my card in the gallery. Should I post my card to my Flickr gallery and add a new link so the picture of the card shows correctly or is it ok as is?

Congratulations on your #100, What a challenge and all the entries look great. I stopped by all the DT's blogspots and commented on the great Inspiration and fun they have going on. Thanks for the chance to win some awesome prizes.

100 color challenges - congratulations! I just found your site recently, but I am happy I did - I LOVE color challenges. Thanks to everyone who helped put together such a celebration and the companies for donating all those prizes - WOW!

Challenge Rules

The Color Throwdown challenges are intended to be fun for everyone. Please use whatever colors you have on hand that are most similar. Combining challenges is fine, but entries must be anew creation, and the colors of your creation should primarily consist of only the Throwdown colors. Neutrals (black, gray, white, Kraft, cream, brown) are free, so use them as you need to complete your design; however, if they are included in the challenge palette they must be used in your creation. We also appreciate a link back to The Color Throwdown site whether you are posting to your blog or another forum. A direct linkto your card via Inlinkz is required. General blog links or cards not following the challenge colors could be deleted. No digital projects--only digital images that are printed off and colored will be allowed. Links must be in place by 6:00 p.m. EST on the Monday immediately following each week's challenge to be considered for Featured Stamper. Thank you for playing!
